Berlin by Car
Players who want to come by car must know that: Starting on the first of january 2008, three German cities (Berlin, Hannover and Cologne) have applied a complete ban on all vehicles that have no catalysers or DPF (Diesel Particulate Filters) in the city centers. To enter, cars must have a windshied sticker stating the installation of such devices.
German authorities try to keep city centers as clean as possible. The extension of these areas differs (we're speaking about very different cities here) but they include more than the historical city centers. Drivers can purchase identification labels for their vehicles and, in Berlin's case, it's estimated that 80 percent of the city's 1.2 million vehicles already have these labels. For now, Berlin's enforcement will be flexible; it's not until the end of January 2008 that drivers without such identificators will be fined. But from then on, the fine is 400 EUR.

The zone is indicated by this pictogram, but the organization of the WC announces that to come to the hotel and the playing hall, you stay out of these zone and don't need the sticker. The sticker is only needed if you want to visit the center of the city by car (better is to do by bus of S-way). There is plenty of room for parking cars near the hotel and the playing hall. Transfer between hotel and playing room is about 10 minutes by car.
